Employment Connections & Development

LINK to Presentation

EXPLORE the presentation to discover more about the SLDA's Welcoming Communities and Employment Connections initiative and its latest updates. This initiative was started to tackle labor challenges, promote strong community development, and address demographic shifts. "By collaborating, we aim to create a positive impact for the social and economic advancement in the Labrador Straits region."

Please take a minute to fill out our short survey on Employment, so we can get a better understanding of employment in the Labrador Straits.

This new project (2024) will support and promote the economic advancement of newcomers in the province by way of providing effective job readiness and job search skills, supports, and workplace-based and diverse community-based language training for both newcomers and locals.

We work with individuals and employers to determine precise skills and experience needed to ensure efficient job skills matching. Assist with recruitment, hiring, community connections and follow-up resulting in retention of qualified individuals in meaningful employment.

Connect with newcomers and locals to offer job skills training, resume building, mentorship, and collaborative community awareness.

SLDA's Employment Connections & Development Office will be creating 'profiles' on individuals in the area, who have decided to make a home here in the Labrador Straits area & Start a Career here.
